Kalaallit Nunaata Radioa (KNR) is the national public broadcasting corporation of Greenland, based in the country's capital city, Nuuk.

It is an independent state-owned corporation headed by a seven-person board. Its activities are funded from a mixture of sources, including direct government funding and on-air advertising.

KNR provides one national television station and one national radio station. The radio station operates mostly in the Kalaallisut language (Greenlandic) but also in Danish. The television schedule consists of a mix of locally produced programmes, news in Kalaallisut, plus the main news bulletins and some other programmes from Danmarks Radio (DR) in Copenhagen. A second radio channel relays DR output directly but is available only in the capital, Nuuk.

Greenland is also served by the commercial television station Nuuk TV and the American Forces Network.
